I've bounced between Lemmy apps and have found Connect to be the best so far. I particularly like the swipe actions as they free up screen space for content.
However I cannot find a way to downvote via swiping. Is the feature not available at present or is it hidden away somewhere in the settings?
You can customize the swipe actions in the latest beta (1.0.98). However this version has a bug where you cant view posts (you can still view comments though) so maybe wait a day until the next update is released.
Yes. Swipe really hard right. You will first encounter an upvote with a short right swipe, but if you continue swiping, you'll reach the downvote.
Edit: please forgive me, I thought I was in the Voyager community. Re: Connect, I have not yet found a way to downvote. If you find a way, feel free to downvote me.
I feel like that used to be true on connect but it's gone away in the recent releases. I had assumed it was now hidden if the underlying instance didn't allow downvotes but maybe it's just gone.
